Cannon Solar is a turnkey commercial EPC. From feasibility to PTO, we handle the engineering, capital stack, construction and service — so you get clean power and a stronger P&L.
Capabilities
No subcontractor chains. Cannon's in-house engineers, project managers and W-2 crews own every project from kickoff through year-25 service.
Site assessments, utility tariff analysis and financial models so you know the payback before signing anything.
Stamped PE drawings, structural reviews, AHJ permits and utility interconnection — handled in-house, not outsourced.
Tier-1 modules, string and central inverters, racking and BOS — sourced and installed by Cannon's W-2 crews.
Cash, CapEx, PPA, lease, and C-PACE — we structure the deal that works for your balance sheet and tax position.
Every site we build flows into CANOS — our in-house service ops platform — for 24/7 monitoring and SLA-tracked service.
25-year module warranty, 10–25 year inverter coverage, plus a Cannon production guarantee on every system.
How it works
A predictable, milestone-driven process. One project manager, weekly status updates and a single point of accountability from first call to PTO.
We pull 12 months of utility data, walk the roof or ground, and identify shading, structural and interconnection constraints.
You receive a side-by-side model: cash, CapEx, PPA and C-PACE, with year-by-year cash flow and IRR.
Stamped PE plans, structural letters, AHJ permits and the utility interconnection application — all in-house.
Cannon W-2 crews mobilize. OSHA 30 supervisors on site daily, weekly progress photos and a single PM as your point of contact.
Inverter commissioning, AHJ final, utility witness test and Permission to Operate. Lights on.
Hand-off to CANOS for 24/7 fleet monitoring, SLA-tracked service, and an annual production review.
Capital structure
Every proposal includes a side-by-side comparison so your CFO can pick the structure that maximizes after-tax IRR for your business.
| Structure | Upfront cost | Ownership | Tax treatment | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash purchase | Highest | You own day one | ITC + MACRS + bonus depreciation | Profitable companies with tax appetite |
| CapEx loan | Low down | You own day one | ITC + depreciation; interest deductible | Companies wanting ownership without full upfront |
| PPA / Lease | $0 down | Third party owns | Off balance sheet, no tax appetite needed | Non-profits, schools, low-tax-appetite firms |
| C-PACE | $0 down | You own day one | ITC + depreciation; long-term fixed rate | Real estate owners, multi-tenant assets |
Federal, state and utility incentives can cover 40–60% of total project cost for the right asset — we model every credit and adder upfront.
Investment Tax Credit on the full installed cost. Stackable with bonus depreciation.
Accelerated MACRS schedule means most of the asset is depreciated in the first five years.
Domestic content, energy community and low-income bonuses can push the ITC to 50%+.
SREC markets, performance payments, rebate programs — we model what's available in your zip.
Sectors
Every commercial asset class has its own load profile, tariff and roof reality. We've engineered for all of them.
Acres of unshaded roof, daytime peak load — the textbook commercial PV asset.
High kWh demand and 24/7 process load — solar plus storage flattens your bill.
NNN passthrough recovery, tenant ESG marketing, and EV-ready canopies.
Predictable weekday load, ESG visibility, and Class-A tenant retention.
Underperforming acreage becomes a 25-year revenue stream — solo or agrivoltaic.
Common-area solar plus virtual net metering passes savings to every unit.
Compressors run all day — your load curve is built for solar + battery.
PPA financing means $0 down — taxpayers and donors keep more capital free.
